The story of a national treasure we won't soon forget - by the woman who knew him best. I mention you've been smoking. 'He mustn't!' she says, alarmed. 'There's so much oxygen in your house he'd explode.' There is a funny side to this -- a cartoonish end: Johnnie Walker DJ Explodes! Just try not to take the house with you. In Johnnie Walker - Both Sides Now, his devoted wife Tiggy shares the final chapter of their life together: the slow, painful goodbye to the man she adored. She reflects on the soaring highs of Johnnie's legendary Radio 2 career, as they navigate the heartbreak, frustration, and strange intimacy of anticipatory grief. This is an honest, deeply personal portrait of love and loss -- a raw, life-affirming tribute to a remarkable life well-lived. With wit and unflinching clarity, Tiggy lays bare the emotional toll of caring for someone at the end of life, and the impossible task of letting go while still holding on. Not just for those who loved Johnnie Walker -- this is for anyone who's known the tangled, messy grace of caring, grieving and loving, all the way to the final breath.
